48th ABS Annual Conference

How can Baha'i artists address the nature and complexity of social barriers that must be understood with clarity to build vital communities? Is bearing creative witness to the subject of social justice an act of devotion? Is not the attempt to examine the status quo in regard to racial justice and gender equality the work of those charged with building the world anew? These are questions my work represents and I offer it for consideration to examining the role artists can play in response to Baha’u’llah’s exhortation to “be anxiously concerned with the exigencies and requirements of the age.”
